Winston

Winston (male) and Winnie (female) are thought to be approximately 1.5 years of age and have been abandoned in a remote community. Currently they are feeding at the local dump and are in desperate need of assistance.

We hope to have them flown into our arms on Sunday where they will go directly to the vets office to have their sterilization/vaccinations, shaving, de-worming, parasite control, tattoo and microchipping.

We are uncertain as to their breed mixture, but they might be a Poodle - Schnauzer cross. We know little about their personalities at this time other than they are sweet natured and do get along with other dogs.

Update on Winston Nov. 13th

A note from Winston's foster Mom:

"This little fellow has settled in extremely well for all the changes he has been through lately. He gets along with the other dogs famously as well as the cat (he mostly ignores her) and the teenagers don’t give him any cause for concern either. At first, going outside was very scary for him – I think he was worried he wouldn’t be allowed back in, or that we would abandon him – so he had to be on a leash and encouraged out, but now that the dogs have been sleeping together as a pack, he was happy to go out in the sun this afternoon for a bit.

He is still learning to walk on a leash, but he is extremely bright and is picking things up very quickly. He has barked when I was getting home and he was inside, until he saw me, but when I was home and a friend walked in and called ‘hello’, he just followed the other dogs to say hi. I have yet to introduce him to small children but I don’t anticipate any problems. Even with his initial nervousness, he has never snapped at anyone – very good temperament – even when in pain. I am enjoying getting to know him and teach him the ropes for his forever family."

Update: 16 Dec

Winston has been adopted !

Congratulations Glynis and Ken on having Winston join your family. We know that he will be loved and adored for all the rest of his days.
